A Relative of mine got his DIB on Friday.
He has let me drive it a few times and was a passanger today.
So what about that 13 anyway.
Well, compared to the 12 (Which we each owned) it's improved.

1) Less cabin road noise
2) Much easier shifting
3) Has more Giddy UP N Go (That was a given).
4) Seemed to ride better
5) I liked the Sound better (seemed deeper).
6) The one bad thing was the tires, they pick up any little debris they find (Sand, Stones etc.).

One thing though, it still has problems with traction.

Rolling 1st Gear 3/4 throttle punch and it broke loose big time.
Rolling 2nd Gear 3/4 Throttle punch and it broke loose big time again.
The traction Control was on, I double checked.
Need wider sneakers I think to match the power.

What a Looker the DIB is too.

Got some BIG THUMBS UP and lots of pointing and head snapping.

The relative wanted some bling so I gave him parts off of my 12 that I won't be using and also used his stuff from his 12 too.

A few pics...............

Thanks for the review... this isnt the first time i have heard of people complaining it has no traction from a roll.

Sucks that it seems to do fine from a stop if the tires are heated but from a roll you have to still worry.

Beautiful ride! I dont know of many 600rwhp cars that have traction in 1st gear. Put some DRs on it and try second gear again.

Looks great! But tell him to lose that awful windshield banner lol. I'm not surprised at the traction loss but like evolve said, DR's will cure that.

Also dont forget the advance track has many different settings to limit the tires from breaking loose. It goes From very aggressive to... barely noticeable.
